Zoom M2 MicTrak Handheld Recorder Overview
BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS - GUARANTEED
The M2 MicTrak is Zoom’s latest innovation in mobile recording. Featuring a new X/Y microphone capsule design and 32-bit float technology, the M2 delivers great sound from the first take.
ONE TAKE - THAT’S ALL YOU NEED
The M2 records clipping-free audio always. Thanks to 32-bit float recording, there’s no need for leveling. Whether you’re recording softly spoken dialogue or thundering drums, you’ll always get the sound you want.
PODCASTING, NO MATTER WHERE
When you’re on the road, you need no other recorder than the M2 to deliver high-resolution, transparent stereo voice recordings anytime.
FOR BREAKING NEWS, THERE’S ONLY ONE TAKE
When there’s only one opportunity to record the story, the M2 won’t let you down.
EXTREMELY QUIET GRIP NOISE
Combined with the specially designed high-gloss finish, the M2’s unique, resiliently suspended X/Y stereo microphones ensure that hand noise is drastically minimised.
STEREO AND MONO MODES
Record in either mono or stereo mode. Stereo is recommended for music performances, while mono is the perfect choice for recording interviews and dialogue.
NORMALIZE FUNCTION
The M2 offers a NORMALIZE function that allows you to optimise the levels of your recordings by raising or lowering the volume. This saves time and makes the post-production process more efficient.
ALWAYS IN SIGHT
Thanks to the real-time waveform display on the M2’s LCD screen, you can always keep an eye on your recordings.
ALWAYS IN CONTROL
Use the headphone output to listen to your recordings or use the internal speaker for quick reference.
USB MICROPHONE WITH 32-BIT FLOAT
Connect the M2 via USB to record and stream with a PC, Mac or in iOS or Android.
INTEGRATED MICROPHONE MOUNT
For stationary recording, mount the Zoom M2 on a microphone stand using the supplied microphone holder.
LONG BATTERY LIFE
Up to 11 hours of battery life via Type AA batteries, securely housed via a new locking system, ensures the M2 is always ready to record when you need it.
